A way to support your employees

Caregiving can be more than a full-time job for employees. According to a 2020 AARP report, nearly 1 in 5 U.S. workers are also providing care to an ill, aging or special-needs adult. Caregiving stress affects the mental, physical and financial health of employees, but many remain silent about their situation for fear of losing their job or missing out on a promotion. Check out our blog on the challenges of working while being a caregiver.

Caregiving employees are not the only ones affected. Caregiver absenteeism costs the U.S. economy an estimated $25.2 billion in lost productivity. This is difficult for employers and highlights the importance of being able to support employees during this time.
